TRAMWAY COMPANY AND COUNCIL.
AUCKLAND DISPUTE. BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION'. AUCKLAND, September 4. When the Supreme Court resumed this morning, it was announced that a settlement had been agreed upon between the City Council and tho Electric Tramway Company in regard to a claim for £784 for not running sufficient cars until April, 2908. The defendant company pays £IOO and £75 costs, which plaintiffs accept in full settlement. Mr Bell, counsel for the Tramway Company, said the real difficulty was that as the action was framed it was to assert that the City Council was the sole test, and there was no limitation to the determination by the Council of what was necessary. When it was found that the Council did not dispute that the sufficiency of cars was to be determined by a deed of delegation, defendants were only too glad to admit that it was open to question whether until the recent acquisition of new cars they had complied with the deed of delegation.
